Re: October ctc - 2k / 2’r / 500m / 4’r / 1500m / 90’’r / 250m / 3´r / 1k

Out of shape and far too little training lately, but wanted a score that wasn’t only easy padling. Should have taken it easier but couldn’t control myself. Frustrating to see how slow and out of shape I have become over last two years. Erik this time I wasn’t even close [emoji6] https://uploads.tapat ...

Re: August Hakuna Tabata CTC

It does not only look horrid, it was! [emoji3062] Went for R30 in the active 20sec and then easy R18 during the rest periods. Hence about ten strong strokes. Just back from vacation, hence, not in good shape. Regarding pace I wouldn’t go faster than 2k. From tomorrow I am back on my regular training, ...

Re: New age group:new targets

Congratulations!!!
So inspirational!!
Any secrets you can share on how to reach that age group, still being able to erg, and pull world records?
And I am not aware of many 90y old that are as active in an online forum.
You are a true inspiration!

May CTC

It makes no sense to include the rest periods as it otherwise would have been a simple 17min.
No idea why they haven’t stated it explicitly this time, maybe they thought like most of us “business as usual”.

Re: May CTC

These CTC’s with time intervals always only consider the meters rowed in the active period and not those in the rest periods. If you look at my screen shot above you will see that the C2 logbook nicely displays it for the total 14min for this month.

May CTC

Well, living in Norway [emoji1189] I cannot let this CTC pass with an easy slow effort, so did a controlled effort after today’s 3x11min session. Pretty happy with the result, though my coach probably won’t like it too much….. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240504/5298c ...

Re: What are your priorities for 2023/4 Season

After struggling for 1,5 years I really hope that this season will be: - free from injury and illnesses - full of regular training - at least 3 PBs (hopefully doing a faster 2k than 6:37.5) - my first in person event (BRIC and/or WIRC Prag) - meet others in person - average of 5-6k a day - doing as ...

For those interested here some more info about the 17th May 1814. In contrast to many nations the Norwegian celebrate their national day with children parades instead of showing off their military. On that day the kids can eat as many ice creams and sausages they like [emoji2] https://en.wikipedia ...

April CTC - The Baker's Dozen

This was another CTC that does not fit my training plans at all. Especially these days where I am struggling to get a good rhythm again. Today I had an easy 30min recovery row at R18 on the schedule, so decided to approach it as 13x1min with 1min Rest (where I kept rowing) in between + 5 min ...

Re: March CTC: 2K

Still not even close to regular erging or some decent form, hence a controlled 2k from me, as all scores count :-)

7:39.9 which is more than a minute slower than what I hoped for at BRIC but missed out due to illness.
Good to be back on the erg though.

Not sure what the actual damage is if one changes all the historic entries, but as I know, your previous captain is watching this forum, so maybe he might jump in and explain, so we know ...

Re: Free Spirits CTC Participation and Leaderboard

Thank you very much Jon!
I know that feeling all too well, and always wondered whether it is due to OCD (one needs things to be in order), the love for software/logic, or just the urge to a get problems fixed.
Anyway, thanks a lot and I hope it gave you an energy boost to get the other stuff done.
